Please don't take this wrong but I am wanting to make sure I am understanding your description. Your dog would come of the hog when you got close, check you, and then go back to the hog?
Pretty cool pictures in your photo album.
Yes, we talking about 14 foot wall of cactus at night or seeoak so thick you cant see thru it and at night, like 20 to 200 acres like this sometimes on our ranches we hunted, thats why i dont like black mouth curs that have to much bite in them and are wacky catchy at the wrong time, the dog had been hunted so many times it knew you were unloading jumping mule to come to it, if you got lost or could not hear him you could hollar out and the dog would come back to show you were the hog was, we were hunting a 12,000 acre pasture called the straighjacket in spanish which i can speel anymore we used to own all in one piece. The mules would trample the vines and brush down if they had to to get to the dogs, the mules would also snort or bark if they knew it was a big boar hog and was really giving the dog heck with charging. I bought a dog named Butler from Lavon and raised ltter out of a daughter of Billys dogs and got a whole pack of about 10 curs who would bay mostly, this is the litter that i drove hogs up to our working pens with mules in the daytime. I always knew nothing had changed since Jude Hart did it but peeps were not interested in driving hogs, they wanted to slip in an dcatch a hog or 2 and go home. lol Billy raised bmc until recently and i think hurt his back, between Lavon and Blevins we had dog power and really got some good rank hogs, we hunted until we had the catch dogs worn out or cut down many a weekend down at the ranches we used to own, but Lavons and Blevins dogs were about the only ones you could do that will mules or just hunt one and not worry about them getting killed on 1 bad hog, the dogs been hunted and so smart they knew they had to bay until help came with gun or knife and not to catch.
